Bill,
Here's an easy way to do it in a mixed environment (where there are
regular Vantage users and MES users on the same server).
Copy the default.mfgsys file to MES.default.mfgsys
make the necessary auto-login edits (described in Scott's email below)
and save to the new file.
On each MES users Windows Environment tab (located in Active Direcotry
Users and Computers) have them run the following command:
<drive:>\client803\mfgsys -MES /config=MES.default.mfgsys
This will tell MES users to launch the MES using your new config file.
They will then still need to login with their employee ID, but this
should eliminate the need for them to put in a username and password
everytime they launch Vantage.
Hope this helps.

In terminal services all users are using the same default.mfgsys file.
